OK, thanks, that's what I thought.  I'd suggest that the FAQ artivle  be adjusted to 
reflect this step, since it's misleading at this point.  If server 2 doesn't have 
server 1 defined in it's Outgoing Servers entry, the current instructions would cause 
an endless loop (the way I understand it).

On a related note, is there a way to have a backup mail server that is backup for some 
domains, but is also primary for others?  Say a client wants to run their own mail 
server, but have us run a backup for them.  Well, I'm sure I could code something like 
that (store the primary server's IP with the relay domain record, then only forward 
mail for that domain through the defined IP using cfx_imsmail), but is there an easier 
way?

Cheers,
